christmas shopping (1947) by Roger Wilkerson
|
hello there. welcome back. I hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving! I cannot believe it's black friday already. I hope you've found some amazing deals. since we're resuming blogmas, I wanted to take today to shout out some of my favorite small shops and artists that could use your support tomorrow for small shop saturday. these shops are near and dear to my heart as they are ones that I frequent often.
I'll be adding some codes and links as i have them, but really just support these amazing without the links if you can because the revenue they make today and this season help pay their bills and support their families. I love supporting them and love the amazing work + products they consistently bring!
so enough blabbing, here's that list --
favorite small shops
I'm Irena's biggest fan. she makes wonderful play-dough stampers and wooden animals that we consistently reach for during the day. She also makes wooden trays and puzzles that are absolutely wonderful. She gave me a code to share with my followers a while back and it's valid for the rest of this year!

favorite mom and dad team! they make the most beautiful wooden toys and
